FHRP Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 My preference is for short names too of one or two sylables Some one sylable girls names that friends have used on their dogs (I only have boys!): Bree Scout Sian (pronounced Sharn) Niamh (pronounce Neve) Belle (this one is a staffy ) Paige Styx Faith Fern Dawn Star Flame Breeze Link Dash Rush Jazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mita Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) Just remember: if you can't yell it, don't use it!!! US comedian Bill Cosby used to advise parents to give their children a name that ends in a vowel sound. Good for yelling out in a looooooong way, so the the sound carries to the kid who's probably 4 houses away. Like, Annie becomes Annieeeeeeeeeeeeee! Whereas Ann just stops dead.

All my dogs names end or are yelled in the "y" ending sound.. and I do it to other people's dogs too. So FHRP's magnificent specimen of a male GSP named Polo becomes.. well you can figure it out.

FHRP Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 One sylable names can be stretched out, even without a vowel sound ending! Flynn often becomes Flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mita Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) Yep, I've had an Annie, Danny, Shelley & Gracie for that reason. Angel soon found herself nicknamed Angie Sometimes one syllable can be the drawn out, for yelling. Like our Nina Zena gets Nina Zeeeeeeeeeena Just saw your similar example, FHRP. Great minds (er, mouths) think the same. Edited February 28, 2011 by mita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FHRP cheats anyway. She can do the best whistle with her fingers between her teefs. I can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mita Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I can't. Me neither. I can't even whistle, without fingers. Which is why yelling is so important for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
